Title :  Green and Inclusive Energy on Localizing SDGs
Duty Station :  Jakarta, Indonesia
Report to :  Program Managers Strategic Partnership

Background

Through the Strategic Partnership program, Hivos supports independent journalists, activists, businesses and civil society organizations in their efforts to influence policies and practices in sustainable food, green and inclusive energy and open contracting both at the national and subnational level. The program is a Citizen Agency consortium funded by Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

Indonesia has issued Presidential Regulation No. 59/2017 on SDGs implementation down to the sub-national. According to the regulation, governors are expected to report the achievement of SDGs implementation at the sub-national level. This implies that localizing SDGs from the national to the sub-national level becomes important. Strategic Partnership program in Indonesia views that localizing SDGs needs to be concrete, to be implemented at the sub-national levels.

Strategic Partnership program consists of three issues (food, green, and inclusive energy) which also contributes to the achievements of SDGs in Indonesia. Energy is a prerequisite for development. Without energy, it is difficult for people to live as all of human’s activities are always involving energy; be it to prepare nutritious food, mobilizing from one place to another, lighting for evening activities, and even to enable people to make a living. However, we also believe that energy supply needs to be sustainable and contribute to the mitigation of climate change.
